Book The Windsor Court if you want the full traditional luxury package: pool, rooftop, breakfast included, and a 9.8 rating across 396 reviews at $640 a night. Book International House if $174 is closer to your budget and you're happy to trade the pool and rooftop for a sharper, design-forward room in the Central Business District, 0.3km away. Both sit in the same pocket of downtown New Orleans, so location is a wash; the difference is entirely in scale of service and amenity.
The Windsor Court occupies that rare register of New Orleans hotel that plays it English-country-house rather than French Quarter kitsch: hushed corridors, Italian marble bathrooms, oil paintings and antiques in the public rooms, afternoon tea in Le Salon with china cups and a harpist somewhere in the background. The Grill Room is the city's only 4-Diamond restaurant, all dark wood and white linen, and the Polo Lounge does live jazz over cocktails in a room that feels like a private club rather than a hotel bar. It draws an older, moneyed, occasion-driven guest — anniversaries, business travellers who expense well, people who want New Orleans without its noise.
Windsor Court suits guests who want traditional five-star ritual — afternoon tea, a proper restaurant, a pool, a rooftop — and are willing to pay for it.
International House is the boutique-hotel version of a 1906 Beaux-Arts bank building on Camp Street, redone in a graphic black-and-white palette with modern furniture and mood lighting rather than antiques. The lobby leans design-hotel cool — candlelit at night, a bit theatrical — and the rooms are compact but sharp, done in that high-contrast monochrome with flat-screens and workable desks. It's the kind of place that suits a design-literate traveller who wants character without formality, and who'll spend the day walking to the French Quarter rather than lounging poolside.
International House suits travellers who want a stylish, well-located base in the CBD and don't need a pool or breakfast thrown in.
At $174, International House gives up the casino, pool, pet-friendliness, included breakfast and rooftop that Windsor Court offers; what you're paying for at the higher rate is essentially the full resort-style amenity set, not just a nicer room.
Windsor Court is the more beautiful place to sit still in — marble, antiques, live jazz — but International House's graphic black-and-white interiors have more edge and personality for the money.

“The only thing to consider is the hotel is expensive but it is worth it.”
Windsor Court guests come away happier overall, describing consistently exceptional, personal service and beautifully maintained rooms across many repeat stays, whereas International House reviews are shorter and less detailed though still positive.
“Windsor exceeds expectations every time”
The Windsor Court continues to live up to its standards. It is refreshing to see that in this day in age. The staff is professional and caring. They also seem legitimately happy to work there. The hotel has high standards and is well worth the value. We will be back a fourth time. Thank you and keep up the good work.
“One of the best hotel experiences I’ve had.”
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! I stayed with my wife for our anniversary and we both had a wonderful experience. When we left, we felt like we had a peaceful reset from a relaxing vacation. The service is another level and I’ve rarely experienced a service that is so attentive. The room was immaculate and spacious. The restaurant was beautiful and we loved the vibe of the bar when music was playing at night. The only thing to
“5 star experience”
5 🌟 Stars!! The service was impeccable.
“I would definitely stay here again. We didn't get to experience the evening when the bar was open and live music was”
Location, cleanliness, aesthetic, very polite staff, vet comfortable!!! And, a complimentary bottle of delicious water! I have always wondered why this is not an included, basic amenity so I was pleasantly surprised by this! Nice touch!
